EUROVIDEOART-tour 6 is a European program which is arranged by the Association of Visual Communication (Verein fur Visuelle Kommunikation – VVK). Its idea is to present outstanding works by both well-known and young artists, whose talent still needs to be discovered.

The sixth version of the EUROVIDEOART-tour is different from the previous tours because this time the VVK has arranged a program on the basis of the theme of a respective film and not its date of production. All the works are dedicated to people’s states of mind in these days of the imminent millenium. This period is connected with the frightful uncertainty about the future, changing inevitably psychological structure of modern people and resulting in emotional stress, feeling of loss and hopelessness.
